Ok guys, I have some $$$ saved up and don't want to spend it on my Jeep this year. I want to add some power to the armada as I am going to be driving it a lot this summer towing a trailer. First thing I want to do is make it sound more like monster than it does now. Here is what I am thinking. Please feel free to chime in and tell me what brands you have/prefer
1. Headers ( which ones give me the most gains)
2. Heads & Cam( Is there an option for our rides)
I already have the borla exhaust and K&N CAI so what else can I do.

With the mods you now have the best bang for the buck is UpRev tuning. If you want to add headers later you can get a new tune then.
Yup, you'll need the UpRev Osiris to retune as you add mods. scr38 just got in his Nismo Headers which are supposed to be great and he's getting Hi-Flow Cats. Wish I lived closer to help him put it on, this'll be really cool. :D

I don't know of any heads but Jim Wolf Technologies makes some very nice Cams for us.

scr38 what type of gains are you expecting from the headers and LT's? Also where can I get the upRev tune and how much does it run. Thanks for the quick replies guys, I am trying to do these mods in the next 10 days beforemy drive down to Louisville KY.

I am expecting about a 20 HP gain from the headers and high flow cats. My B pipes with the new cats should be ready within the next two days. I plan to install the headers and modified B pipes next weekend, and do a dyno retune a week from Friday.
That is the plan, but I don't know if everything will fall in place so I can make that schedule.
Contact UpRev at www.uprev.com. You can ask if they have a Osiris tuner in your area. UpRev is in Austin, Texas, but they are starting a network of tuners across the country.
Their web site will explain the different options.
My Armada was the first to be tuned by them, and I have been pleased with the performance.
